A was paid Rs 72,000 under the old profit-sharing ratio, while his correct share is Rs 64,000. How should A's account be treated in the adjustment entry?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Debit Rs 8,000

A was overpaid by Rs 72,000 − Rs 64,000 = Rs 8,000. To correct this excess, A's current/capital account is debited (reducing his balance) in the adjustment entry to recover the amount. Option B is wrong because crediting A would increase his balance, which is the opposite of the required correction. Exam tip: If a partner is overpaid, debit that partner's account; if underpaid, credit it.
